Additions to our basic positions.

The internationalist Communists of Montreal are changing their name to “The Internationalist Communists – Klasbatalo!” In Esperanto, 'Klasbatalo!' is a word meaning class struggle. There are two reasons for this. First, the activity of revolutionary internationalists is not restricted to a city, of course, and secondly the militant composition of Internationalist Communists is no longer limited to the city of Montreal.

The Internationalist Communists – Klasbatalo! have made additions to their basic positions.

It has been emphasized that Stalinism was the result of the isolation and degeneration of the Russian Revolution following the collapse of the revolutionary wave particularly in Germany between 1919-1923. Stalinism is also a bourgeois ideology (Maoism one of its variants).

We have also clarified that self-management and nationalization are just other forms of capitalism, which do not address its relations of production.

Finally, the distribution of the communist program aims to raise proletarian consciousness within its own class. Communism requires the working class to consciously abolish capitalist social relations. Following from this we reject all sectarian attitudes and isolationism. Left Communist ideas must have a hearing within our class.

Student struggle and Assemblies of neighbourhouds

This booklet won’t go into a precise chronology of the 2012 student strike. Instead, what we’ll present is a political analysis of the struggle that unfolded last year. We intend this both as an assessment of the movement, as well as a preparatory tool for coming struggles.

Booklet From Nationalism to Internationalism

This booklet is very important for ICM as the habits and ideas acquired in Maoist groups block one’s understanding of Marxism and its implementation at the level of class struggle and the internal organizations of Left Communism.
